Profile Service Spinlock Problem Causes 100% CPU Consumption

This article was previously published under Q307409

SYMPTOMS

Dllhost.exe or Inetinfo.exe may show 100% CPU consumption either in Task Manager or Performance Monitor. Further investigation using Autodump+ shows that MSCSUps is engaged in multiple spinlocks that are spread across multiple threads. Performing an IISRESET temporarily remedies the symptoms.

CAUSE

A spinlock resource is not released reliably, which results in a deadlock condition. The 100% consumption state is caused by the MSCSUps component continuously checking to see if a lock has been cleared.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, restart the Web service. Note that this results in lost user sessions.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Commerce Server 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
